I'm teaching a lot of people. And people like my grumpy long haired redneck style, my comment earlier this week about artisan bread being ugly and needing a paper bag got more than a few laughs.

Look at that caramelization in that soup, that is all natural, no added color, just onions, black pepper and broth.

See I can cook fancy if I want to, thinking a lunch at the Muster next year.

Post by: Delmonico on July 02, 2021, 12:27:23 AM: One paragraph I'm proud of: ::) :o ;D

Going to the refrigerator I grab a carton of eggs and open them, and find I have just brown eggs in it, sometimes they have blue green ones or white ones or a mix of all three. This is good because brown eggs are in style today despite the shell color not making the egg inside different than a white one, at one time white eggs were considered better, now for some reason brown is considered better and cost more. Sadly in the ultimate search for cool they were not “Free Range Organic” but just regular old farm eggs from yard birds since they run around in my brother in laws yard. But they were free instead of $5 a dozen so I went with cheap.

My guess is the one show rating for the episode that would feature you, would increase by a factor of everyone on Cas City
and your blog followers.

A leather smith friend of mine, was featured on "How its Made" and the show got one of the highest viewed new episodes ratings.
Another Knifemaker friend, was featured on "Forged in Fire" ...

Post by: Delmonico on July 02, 2021, 07:46:44 PM: I need a vacation from my wife, she bought bagels from the local store bakery last night, late afternoon sale, they had 4 with cheese on the. Just asked me if I wanted a couple Jalapeno ones, "No, why would I want F*ed up bagels? ::) Just because I like the J peppers where they belong don't mean I want them on everything. And that's after I had to take off my headphones. ::)

I guess they got tossed or I will after they mold. So she put peanut butter and bologna on the cheddar and asiago ones and ruins them. ::) I want plain white bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon on them, dang yuppies again, they ruin everything they touch, go look at new pickups. ::) Need to get me some lump charcoal and a hunk of salmon from Cosco and smoke it and bag it.. ::)

Been locked up since got back from the 2019 Muster and Rowdy was so bad we didn't go far At least she goes to the Yuppie coffee house with her friend a lot, what she does since she don't drink coffee is beyond me, she's missing out on their free range organic coffee. :o

It’s been a long week, and getting followed by two more.

Drove 120 miles each way today to pump out a rest area, then did a couple more jobs around town. Finally got the big boy truck on Wednesday. Learning the 10 speed has been a steep learning curve. I have a tendency to skip 6th gear, which is not helpful when one is driving a 60,000lb vehicle.

Post by: Major 2 on July 03, 2021, 03:13:27 AM: We heard 2 loud rapid explosions the other day, it was much louder than any electrical transformer blowing up,
shook the entire house and rattled windows.

We've heard the double BOOM BOOM of the sonic wave from the Space Shuttle when it would return to Kennedy.
It was like that but even louder .

They say it may have been a meteorite sonic boom. :o

Jun 21, 2021 we heard a loud single BOOM , that turned out to be the
U.S. Navy setting off giant explosion to test USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier. The blast registered as a 3.9 magnitude earthquake.

It was heard from Sabastian to Daytona and 50 + miles inland ... https://www.cbsnews.com/news/uss-gerald-ford-shock-trials-earthquake-florida/

The Bubbas were at it with both an AK platform and an AR or two , with someone or 3 answering with 9 Mike Mikes...
I think the AK Bubba had a bump stock or finger bouncing his piece as he dumped several his 30 round Mags....
But this 4th was mostly , Bubba rednecks and their at least $1 + a pop gunfire both last night & tonight.
And then a few folks , in all directions light off firecrackers , the crackle of such is heard but rather lackluster.
There is also the occasional louder fireworks & and deeper BOOMs of something like an aerial.

One guy about 1/2 to 3/4 mile off to the south east , I think must either work for the Mouse or Universal or some Fireworks display Co. , because last night he put on Professional like star burst aerial display, which he does for nearly an hour . He also does it New Years , and I believe someone's mid June birthday or something party as well Its not a holiday and its every year :-\

Got a B- for reaction to it, they would have rather I called 911 but I was sure it wasn't real bad and decided to let LFR rest and cut down on Slim's work load if they still do it for the city. ;D

Got appointment with the NP at the heart place tomorrow, was already on the plan. Of course due to arm bruising and such from dog and cat training they asked if I was doing that and as a vulnerable older adult they also checked me for abuse. They don't really tell you that but I knew and kinda laughed. Asked him what would happen if there were bruises and I told him my wife did it but I liked it. :o He told me please don't because he would still have to report it. :o Guess when you get old they don't allow the kinky stuff. Dang more giverment control, I can see a conspiracy here going to waste. ;D

Means about $385 extra a month, I decided earlier this year I likely ain't going to be getting a part time job like I planned in April of 2019. I hear one of the local Burger Kings is hiring though. ;D You all probably heard. ;)

I'm not sure if there is a any time soon resumption to custom designs , engineering and budgeting ( my area of bread & butter)

I may yet get back , maybe PT , In bidding or ordering.... but prolly not before the Fall , or even 2023.

Critter situation is getting mostly better, not sure what happened about 3 am, I was in the middle, Rita to the side, I escaped injury but Rita needed a boo boo band aid, us heart people on blood thinners have them stashed around the house so there were some in the bedside medicine drawer, the one above the pistol. They slept far apart after that and are now taking turns batting a kitty toy Rita bought yesterday.

We have a lot of smoke in the Missoula area. About 8,000 local acres going up in smoke, plus the stuff over in WA and OR, and Canada. On the bright side, the smoke keeps the temperature down a little.

"On July 13, 2021, a restaurant in New York City broke a Guinness World Record by serving up the world’s most expensive plate of French fries.

The restaurant, Serendity 3 in Manhattan, served up its $200-a-plate creation, Crème de la Crème Pomme Frites, with ingredients that include, per Guinness:

Upstate Chipperbeck potatoes, Dom Perignon Champagne, J. LeBlanc French Champagne Ardenne Vinegar, batches of pure cage-free goose fat from France, Guerande Truffle Salt, truffle oil, Crete Senesi Pecorino Tartufello cheese, shaved black summer truffles from Italy, truffle butter, organic A2 A2 100% grass fed cream from Jersey Cows, Gruyere Truffled Swiss Raclette that has been aged for 3 months, and of course, 23k edible gold dust."

So glad my Co-lester-all allows me to cheat a lot. Dumped the fryer a while back because it hadn't been used since before the big cluster mess. Could have used it, had had potatoes fried in it last time and strained, wasn't rancid at all, my fear when I found it buried on the table. Had the last thing been fish and not potatoes it could have been bad. ::) Always make fries and strain after making CFS Chicken, fish or similar things.

Normally use that stove top oven I think you donated at a muster. Got 2 10's and a 13 14, wife makes rumbling about another 13 1/4, had my eyes open, may have to go new sometime, can get one for wholesale plus cost on shipping.

Post by: The Trinity Kid on July 25, 2021, 08:18:05 PM: Evening all.

My thoughts on the pizza thing:

I am neutral regarding pineapple. If it’s there (and the pizza is free) I’ll eat it. If it isn’t there, I don’t lose sleep over it. I don’t go out of my way to get it, either.

Kiwi on pizza might convince me to seek other dining options. Swedish pizza is an abomination, and I refuse to acknowledge it as a food.

Regarding French fries: I recently found a local place that makes theirs from scratch, but considering it requires buying a mediocre burger for $14, I don’t frequent it. I’ll stick to homemade Jojos. On that note…

Dinner tonight is potato and onion soup with French bread.

In other news, I’ve just about been talked into getting another horse. This one is a ~6mo old paint rescued from up near Great Falls. I spent some time with it today, and was able to get it past its fear of being touched by bribing it with some apples and alfalfa cubes. We’ll see how it turns out. I could use a hunting buddy for elk seasons.

My personal opinion on pizza topping is No fruit,no fish/seafood. Sausage, Bacon, ham, chicken and beef is good, the only fruit that is acceptable would be sun dried tomatoes.

Anchovies are as traditional Sicilian as breaking your knee caps if you don't have the money.

One just as bad, was about 15 or 16, got this burger place everyone was raving about, got there, the told me to try the Whopper, :-X some SOB put mayo, raw tomato and lettuce on my burger, had never seen that before. Tried it with out that crap and went back to Bronco's. Cheaper and better.

The problem with me going out to eat is I expect it to be as good as I make. ;D The cheese burger the other day in Omaha was the first one I bought anywhere in at least 3 years and nostalgia made me do it.

Anyone else think this looks like bacteria in a petri dish?

I used to find things in the back of my fridge that looked similar to that, although usually "fuzzier" Usually wore gloves to handle it, and double bag it in the trash...

He designed and built a J3 & Super Cub and sold the plans and components out of his Opa-locka hanger shop.
Never realizing riches he'd hoped, but still stuck with it moving his base to Aiken SC and also managed a little 8000 gal. private airfield till he passed away in 2010. RIP

The song writers, Harry, Arlo, Guy Clark, John Prine, Jerry Jeff, Ray Wiley, and several others, not much like them left. ::) Could write a song that sounded very goo, both tune and lyrics.

And overpriced Waxed Hemp Rope.
Reminds me of Eddie Bowers insanely priced "fat wood"

I guess nobody taught the "kids" to cut up their Amazon prime boxes into little cubes and soak them in
Melted candle stubs ( preferably what's left from Thanksgiving, Christmas and New year's). But then it probably wouldn't work if you had turkeytofu and soy candles.

Hell I still have maybe 20 or 30 pounds of paraffin in one giant brick laying around, from my fancy candle days. Loved to add real vanilla , use a proper wick ( braided cotton! No lead wire for this kid) and cast em up in various size tin cans. For fancy I would use my soldering iron to carve pretty psychedilc designs on the outside. Or Celtic Golrdian Knots. I will have to make one and throw in vanilla and cinnamon and see what happens.

If you got "the good stuff" ... Some sort of highly condensed / compressed wax ) you could make candles that did not drip but could last for a couple days. I quit making those when I found I could get "plumbers candles" cheaper, and just putthosesuckers in my kit. Warms a small tent right up.

Betwixt waxed rope, the demise of real songwriters,
and incorporating BMX bikes and skateboards into the friggin Olympics,
it IS the EOTWAWKI.

Go for the shirt, Dell. It keep them guessing.

Hey did you know you can make your own pumpkin ball 1.75 inch shotshells and stuff 12 of em into an 870 with the 8 round extender tube? YMMV for number and tweeking for feeding. I kept making dummy shells til I got the length perfect. Or you can load no. 4 buck .

If ya got a mossberg 8 rounder you can get a rubber ramp doohickey and stuff 14 of those little 1.5 inch Aguila shells in. Goodby elastic Buttstock shell holders.

Still dealing with the Bronc, they tell me is combo of smoke and humidity. :-\

Sucks having to have help, but maybe the big stuff done I can keep it up, Rita will be more useful soon. 8) Sounds terrible to say it but she has got to the point of not being that useful. ;D At least for keeping the house clean. ;)
